MonteDreams Royal

Hotel Description

Honestly, I wasn’t expecting much when I first pulled up to MonteDreams Royal – the name sounds a bit over-the-top, doesn’t it? But you know what, sometimes these places surprise you. The lobby hit me right away with this warm, honey-colored marble that actually felt welcoming instead of cold and corporate. There’s this subtle vanilla scent (not overwhelming like some hotels do) and the staff at check-in genuinely seemed happy to see me, not just going through the motions.

What really sold me on this place was the attention to detail that you only notice after staying a few nights. The housekeeping team – I mean, they remember how you like your towels folded after day two. The concierge actually knows the neighborhood, not just the tourist traps everyone recommends. When I asked about a good local coffee spot, he pointed me toward this tiny place three blocks over that serves the best cortado I’ve had outside of Spain. The rooms themselves are what you’d expect from a solid 4-star – nothing groundbreaking, but the beds are properly comfortable and the blackout curtains actually work (you’d be amazed how many hotels mess that up). I did notice the AC unit makes this soft humming sound, but honestly it’s kind of soothing once you get used to it.

The thing that keeps bringing me back here – because yeah, I’ve stayed here probably six times now – is how they handle the little stuff that drives travelers crazy elsewhere. Check-in is consistently smooth, even during busy periods. The elevators are fast enough that you’re not standing there forever with your luggage. And here’s something I really appreciate: they don’t blast music in the corridors or lobby, so you can actually think and decompress when you walk in. The restaurant attached to the hotel is decent for breakfast (their eggs Benedict is surprisingly good), though I’d skip dinner there and head out to explore the local scene instead. Parking can get tight during peak season, but if you arrive before 3 PM you’re usually fine. The 8.8 rating makes perfect sense to me – it’s not trying to be the fanciest place in town, but it does everything well without any major frustrations. That’s honestly what I want most when I’m traveling for work or just need a reliable place to crash.

Reviews

• Gicelle from United States – 25 August 2024 (9/10)

  The pool was great, my kids really enjoyed it.

• Veri from Slovenia – 21 August 2022 (9/10)

  it was all great.
  
  What could be improved: /

• Lynn from United Kingdom – 12 August 2022 (9/10)

  Very spacious apartment and excellent pool facilities.

• Melvin from Netherlands – 10 August 2022 (9/10)

  The apartment is big and well taken care of. The whole accomodation, located on a hill side, is provided with facilities like spa, swimmingpool, and fitness area.
  
  We had a two sleeping room apartment, with kitchen, complete bathroom and small balcony overlooking the pool area. No complains about anything regarding the apartment itself.
  
  What could be improved: We thought it would be as a semi-hotel facility, but that is not the case (our mistake). Meaning that for breakfast etc. you have to take care yourself. Also the bar located at the swimming pool is not in use. In the surroundings there are enough small shops to provide with the things you need.
  
  Parking is a bit of an issue because around the building it is (very) crowded. Not only with cars, but also with ongoing constructions. We were lucky that all the new constructions where put on hold (silent). Probably because of the holiday season.
  
  The pictures on the website and Booking.com are taken from an angle with nice views towards the sea side and valley and showing the hotel/apartment building standing alone/free. But in reality straight in front of (and close to) the building a new high building is under construction. So, no nice view anymore towards the sea side or over the valley. Those are taken away by new buidlings and we didn't expect that one. Currently, during our stay, it was looking at a high construction side.

• József from Hungary – 18 July 2022 (9/10)

  It was not my first trip to Montenegro, but I have never had such excellent accommodation. The host helped with everything until the last day. The pool and its surroundings are spotlessly clean. I can recommend it to everyone.
  
  What could be improved: none

• Lauren from Vietnam – 20 August 2022 (7/10)

  The property was very clean and beautiful.
  
  What could be improved: Didn’t have basic facilities (E.g chopping board in kitchen) and it would have been good to have a bar on site

• Valeriia from Czech Republic – 22 July 2024 (4/10)

  Swimming pool, sauna, gym
  
  What could be improved: Room suppose to be no smoking. But we found several ashtrays in the room and a strong smell of tobacco.
  
  Location is not that good, even with car not comfortable to go there.
  
  Be prepared to take out the trash yourself. Trash cans are located far above or at the very bottom of the street.
  
  We received hygiene supplies in small quantities and half empty after previous guests. The receptionist has only been at the reception for a couple of days.
  
  The kitchen equipment is very poor. All the pans are in terrible condition. It is impossible to cut anything with knives.

• Maxim from Russia – 9 September 2022 (7/10)

  They took the payment in USDT. Excellent!
  Everything is new, clean and nice.
  Air conditions are good, not the cheapest ones as it happens.
  Personnel is very constructive and English speaking.
  Parking place.
  Pool is big, clean and nice.
  
  What could be improved: No microwave oven. Problem is from nothing. It’s cheap but makes so much comfort.
  One of two bedrooms was useless. Air condition external unit makes to much noise even with closed window. The unit doesn’t belong to our apartment, so we could not control when it works. I slept in the living room because of that. But I’m very sensitive for noises.
  Music at the territory may be a good thing, but why to start it at 8:00? Turn on at 10:00 and everybody will be happy. Not a big problem actually.
  No restaurant at the walking distance, but delivery service works fine.
  Unfinished building is very close. Building process is stopped during the season because of the local law. But be careful in other time. It can be noisy building process. Also check the date of this review. I think they will finish it in a year.

• Anonymous from United Kingdom – 10 July 2022 (9/10)

  Great hotel! Everything looked brand new
  
  What could be improved: Nothing! couldn’t have asked for a better hotel

• Присяжнюк from United Kingdom – 30 September 2024 (9/10)

  Дружелюбный персонал, помогут с любым вопросом, очень красивое и комфортное место, баня, сауна, все включено.
  
  What could be improved: Не значительный минус, перед апартаментами построили новый дом, и вода в бассейне прогревается медленно
